Last night was forecast clear on three different forecasting sights, first time in ages that work and study and kids etc have allowed me a chance to try and get that proper first light on my FS 106N I bought yonks ago and have not produced anything worth a damn since.
Well, come 7pm, after setting up, focusing and calibrating guiding, I got one 5min exposure and went inside to help with bath/bed time etc.
Looked out the window ten mins later and was 100% cloud. Admittedly I live in a bit of a Mount Wellington microclimate but seriously!!
Anyway, decide time to take some fresh darks.So off we go again.
At 11pm I look out and see beautiful clear skies , go down to the scope and find the sequence is"waiting" and hasn't started! no ******* darks!
I give in, I really do.
Went back to bed.
